10 Reasons Yishun Is Great Because All Neighbourhoods Are Good Neighbourhoods

Yishun Make Fun Of It

Well well well, what do we know — Yishun is in the news again! In small, stifling Singapore where nothing interesting ever happens, any glimpse of drama is immediately cast into the public eye, and it seems like the public isn’t ready to let go of Yishun just yet.

Just think of how they can now role play the whole do-not-open-your-door-to-a-stranger scene with their children, right there. It’s the ultimate story parents can use to keep kids well-behaved: “Keep quiet, or I’ll give you away to that man!”

Better than the empty threat of putting chilli padi in your mouth — something isn’t really a punishment for many chilli-loving Singapore kids.

With people like the children-loving man going around, we’re sure the kids of Yishun will grow up to be vigilant citizens of Singapore. Thank you for doing our nation a service, Yishun.

2. Develop Handyman Skills

Residents of Yishun don’t need to waste money on plumbers/repairmen, because they are that good at repairing their own flats.

With tiles randomly collapsing every now and then, it is impossible to not become an experienced repairman in no time. Save money and a chance to learn additional skills? We sure aren’t passing that up — see you in Yishun!

5. Kampung feels

Those who feel nostalgic for those days should live in Yishun. With sewage pipes bursting out of the blue, spewing faeces and urine all over the streets and preventing the use of toilets, we promise the most authentic kampung experience in Yishun.

6. “Spoon man” Tests Phone’s Durability

If you’ve wondered whether your precious smartphone can stand the test of time, never fear, “Spoon Man” is here, in Yishun.

He hates not having a spoon. He really hates not having a spoon to eat yogurt with. Watch this video from a Cheers outlet in Yishun to see what he can do:

Yup, witness that virility and form he displays when throwing that phone on the floor. If your phone can withstand that, it can withstand anything. And if it doesn’t, hey at least you can make use of your phone insurance!

Lee Bee Wah Speaks, Again

Despite the fun we get out of making Yishun the butt of our jokes, let’s remember that Yishun is made up of Singaporeans who are equally shocked at the plethora of incidents that took the town by storm in recent years.

Ms Lee Bee Wah said it best on her Facebook page, after The Straits Times asked her about the town’s infamy:

Yishun Is Great

As we get caught up in the whirlwind of negative Yishun news, we just wanted to remind the public that a ton of positive things happen in Yishun too, just that we may not notice them.
